Input on a planned trip

[wanpo]

Final Prep:
Well getting pumped for leaving on Sunday.
Picked up a Whisper Kit for my Shoei and my mate's got an intercom set so we'll be able to communicate on the road. Sorted out accomodation for the first 3 days, will use our rest day to fix the rest.

Will be travelling on the light, hopefully 1 backpack containing:
Street Wear, Clear Visor, food, psp, playing cards, chargers

Mate will be packing a Toolkit and a rudimentary First Aid kit

Will probably wing whatever else we need unless I'm overlooking something (suggestions?)

Top post now has dates, let me know if you're keen to join us for any part of the trip (ph 021 267 8603)

Hey Wanpo
Heres a couple of suggestions for the Wanganui to Wellington leg:
Head from Wanganui to Hunterville by taking No 2 Line to Fordelll from there head up to and through Kauangaroa change on to Mangatipona Rd and on to Mangahoe Rd all the way to Ongo Rd and into Hunterville. Only about 60 odd ks then head north for a bit and do Vinegar Hill Rd and into Feilding. Would be a great little detour

Also you have to do the Paekakariki Hill at least once in your life and then just cut back in on either Grays Rd or Paremata Rd and your back on SH1

Other items to take maybe some maps (even print some google maps) and also chewing gum for the dry mouth (or is that just me)
Good luck, take your time and have fun
